FWIW, the term I would use instead of radical, at least as I understand how Edward64 means it most of the time, is insular . One can have extreme or radical views and still be open to points of view that are much different than their own. Similarly, you can be quite moderate compared to others and still have no use whatsoever for entertaining why they think what they do, and highly dismissive/disrespectful of those differences.

Personally, I would consider insular to be a much greater insult than radical, and a far greater danger. I also think Edward's main point here is basically correct; Biden won't be able to be 'President for all Americans', because the gulf to bridge is orders of magnitude too large for anyone to bridge. We're well past the point where anyone can do that. I hope he manages to simply do what he believes is right.
